Answer 1

Answer:

d. Prepaid insurance $3,675, and Insurance expense $525.

Explanation:

Preparation of the journal entry to determine which of the following account balances are correct after adjusting entries have been made

Based on the information given the account balances that are correct after adjusting entries have been made will be PREPAID INSURANCE $3,675, and INSURANCE EXPENSE $525.

First step is to calculate the amount the company pay per month

Amount pay per month=$4,200/24 months

Amount pay per month = $175 per month

Last step

Since Three months have been used which are October, November, and December which means that $175 per month × 3 months = $525 which will be recorded as INSURANCE EXPENSE while the balance in PREPAID INSURANCE will be $4,200 - $525 = $3,675
